PHSL 201 - Human Physiology Renal Function and Acid-Base Practice Problems
University of Arizona
PHSL 201 - Human Physiology | Practice Problems

Overview
A practice set on filtration, reabsorption, fluid balance, and acid-base regulation across the renal system.

Key topics
•filtration and reabsorption
•fluid balance
•acid-base compensation
•renal regulation of electrolytes

Suggested study tasks
•trace one filtrate path through the nephron
•compare respiratory and renal compensation
•predict how one disturbance changes urine output

Common pitfalls
•mixing filtration with secretion
•forgetting where major reabsorption happens
•confusing compensation with correction of the original cause
